Timeline
In April 2009, Strain was commissioned by the University of Alabama to paint a historical work for the Confederate Corp of Cadets assembling to fight the Union invaders in April 1865. The finished work was unveiled at the annual Gen. John C. Calhoun Sanders Lecture Series on the University campus.
Reproductions of Strain's paintings have won the PICA Awards (Printing Industry of the Carolinas). At the PIAG 2008 Awards in Georgia, Strain was awarded the 'Top Gold Award' for his painting New Year's Wish, and the 'Best of Category Giclée' for Fire In the Sky. Strain was awarded the Henry Timrod Southern Culture Award (2010) by the Military Order of the Stars and Bars for his contributions toward the understanding, appreciation and explanations of Southern Arts and Letters, as a member of the Order.
On November 22, 1998, Strain appeared in an interview on C-SPAN's Washington Journal Feature, where he discussed his inspiration and techniques as a historical artist. On episode 18, season 5 of Extreme Home Makeover, Strain worked and painted on the set and donated a large original painting, 'Chatham House'. "Along with renowned artist John Paul Strain, Ty looks at a photo of the original Chatham house to make sure they've gotten the details right. 'I want it to look kind of mysterious,' Ty says. Ty and Strain, who completed his work in less than a week, secure the framed canvas—the molding was painted silver—with French cleats."
Strain's painting, D-Day, a 50th Anniversary portrayal of the first Infantry Division's landing on Omaha Beach in Normandy, France on June 6, 1994, was commissioned by the Class Gift Committee of the Command and General Staff College at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas in April 1994. The painting is now on display in the Eisenhower Hall of the CGSC, and was reproduced in an edition of 1290 prints for the 1994 graduates.
Strain began painting scenes from the American Civil War in 1991. These Civil War historical paintings are larger and have more detail than his western paintings. According to Strain, each painting is meticulously researched and painted with such detail (Strain often wears a jeweler's magnifying glass and uses a two to three haired brush to paint most of the composition's intricacies), that one painting may require more than three months to create.
John Paul Strain (born September 22, 1955) is an American artist, specializing in art depicting American history. He creates hyper-realistic paintings of patriotic historical scenes, such as the American West, Civil War and D-Day, that are exhibited or used by institutions such as the US military, US Park Service and others. He has been compared as inheriting the mantle of 19th-century print makers such as Currier & Ives and Louis Prang.
Strain participates in Civil War reenactments. "I have been reenacting for many years. Currently, I am Captain of the 7th Texas Calvary. My unit has about 20 mounted cavalry men, and we participate in Civil War reenactments throughout the southwest. Working with men, horses, and equipment gives me insight into what life was like back in the 1860s. I know from experience how horse equipment should look when in use, or how a seasoned horseman carries himself in the saddle. I feel it really helps my art." -John Paul Strain.
